Transaction Advisory
Transaction advisory involves managing high-stakes business deals, requiring substantial experience and rational decision-making. When a company needs to raise capital, sell, or acquire another business, it’s essential to evaluate opportunities, risks, and options effectively. Emergent’s transaction advisory services are crafted to guide you through these transactions with ease and confidence. Whether you’re an investor, acquirer, or target company, you can rely on us to deliver the necessary services, offering a clear perspective on the transaction.

With our extensive experience advising both businesses, we guide the client through the complexities of maximizing return on investment while managing risks and addressing critical ESG needs and factors.
In an era of increased uncertainty, from climate change and energy transitions to digital disruption, we collaborate with you to transform today’s challenges into opportunities for profitable and sustainable growth. We navigate these complexities to ensure optimal return on investment, balancing risk and addressing economic, environmental, stakeholder, and community considerations.
Project Finance and PPP Transaction Advisory
Our established methodology throughout the investment lifecycle identifies effective solutions and implements an ‘investor-tested’ commercial approach during the planning and procurement phases of projects, as well as during asset renewal or disposal. Our expertise in project finance and PPPs includes:
Engaging in the preparation phases of concept notes, pre-feasibility studies, and feasibility studies, with a specialisation in market demand assessment, financial model preparation, and needs and options analysis.
Impact Investment and Enterprise Development
Impact investing challenges the traditional belief that social and environmental issues should be tackled solely through philanthropic donations, while private sector investments should aim only at financial gains. The collective resources of government and philanthropy alone are inadequate to address the numerous development challenges of the twenty-first century. The impact investment industry presents a range of diverse and viable opportunities for investors to support social and environmental solutions while simultaneously generating financial returns. Emergent has helped clients create impact investment funds, and design prospectuses and investment mandates for such funds. Our key staff have worked in impact funds as investment professionals and have been active on investment committees.
